Group Objectives
The leadership board assists with the completion of launch steps 8-10 and operation of the live program by:
  • Providing input and direction to the program director as he/she manages the day-to-day operations of the program
  • Assisting with the 5 L's of operations:
    • Leadership: Recruit and onboard program staff and volunteers
    • Location: Research, secure and prepare facility and transportation
    • Logistics: Coordinate details and maintain positive communications with the school
    • Loot: Spearhead the fundraising effort, budget and manage finances
    • Language: Ensure all public communications are excellent and contain proper messaging

Group Makeup
The leadership board should include:
  • No fewer than three members and no more than nine in addition to the program director
  • Representation from at least three different churches
  • Representation of the entire Christian community: various ages, professions, genders, races, etc.
  • One member responsible for each of the 5 L's: Leadership, Location, Logistics, Loot and Language. Individual board members may be responsible for more than one L.

Member Responsibilities
Every member is asked to:
  • Have a mature personal Christian faith in agreement with the "What We Believe" section of the LifeWise Academy Statement of Faith
  • Actively participate in and commit to a local church whose doctrine aligns with the "What We Believe" section of the LifeWise Academy Statement of Faith
  • Complete board member role-specific training
  • Complete a background check & Child Abuse Awareness and Mandated Reporting training once every 3 years
  • Be diligent in executing the T-Minus Plan prior to launch
  • Actively participate in the fundraising process
  • Be faithful in attending scheduled meetings
  • Commit to a minimum of one year of service
  • Be consistent in prayer for the local program
  • Note: Leadership board members may not hold a paid position within the program while serving on the program's leadership board

Member Qualifications
Every member should have a proven track record of exemplifying the two LifeWise Core Values:
  • COMMITMENT - Members have their hearts in the right place. They are motivated by their love for the Lord and are all in. They are fully supportive of the gospel-centered purposes of a local LifeWise program.
  • COMPETENCE - Members have the know-how, skills and relationships to get stuff done.

*Note: Each member must provide the contact info of a local church leader in which he/she is an active participant. While we recognize that there are sometimes legitimate reasons to be "between churches," LifeWise is fundamentally a local church driven ministry and it is, therefore, important for Leadership Board members to represent local churches.
How to Apply: Apply on the program's webpage through the "Join the Team" button
*Applicants will be contacted by the LifeWise team with next steps.
LifeWise Academy's hiring practices and EEO Statement are fully in compliance with both federal and state law. Federal law creates an exception to the "religion" section of employment discrimination laws for religious organizations and permits them to give employment preference to members of their own religion. LifeWise Academy is in that category.
